ACPI / button: Remove lid_init_state=method mode
The mode is buggy, and lid_init__state=open is more useful than this mode, so this patch makes it deprecated. Signed-off-by: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

If the userspace hasn't been prepared to ignore the unreliable "opened"
events and the unreliable initial state notification, Linux users can use
the following kernel parameters to handle the possible issues:
-A. button.lid_init_state=method:
- When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver reports the
- initial lid state using the returning value of the _LID control method
- and whether the "opened"/"closed" events are paired fully relies on the
- firmware implementation.
- This option can be used to fix some platforms where the returning value
- of the _LID control method is reliable but the initial lid state
- notification is missing.
- This option is the default behavior during the period the userspace

+A. button.lid_init_state=open:
When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver always reports the
initial lid state as "opened" and whether the "opened"/"closed" events
are paired fully relies on the firmware implementation.
This may fix some platforms where the returning value of the _LID
control method is not reliable and the initial lid state notification is
missing.

If the userspace has been prepared to ignore the unreliable "opened" events
and the unreliable initial state notification, Linux users should always
use the following kernel parameter:
-C. button.lid_init_state=ignore:
+B. button.lid_init_state=ignore:
When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver never reports the
initial lid state and there is a compensation mechanism implemented to
ensure that the reliable "closed" notifications can always be delievered
